Acutance
Acutance: A physical rather than subjective measure of the sharpness of a photographic image.
“In photography, acutance is the edge contrast of an image. Acutance is related to the amplitude of the derivative of brightness with respect to space.

color in Finder
| I remember when “Think Different” was the big selling point for Apple. The past couple of years it would seem they have ditched that campaign for, “Think the Same.”
Pulling the color out of Finder is right up there with a conversation I had with an Apple tech support person when I was trying to change the size of iPhone fonts. But that’s another story. Here’s a fix to adding color-based navigation BACK into your operating system. |
